Super excellent summit with Sharon!

I will admit that I was super lazy on getting this blog done. It's Thursday? And this run was last Sunday! Haha. Sharon and I made a quick summit on Sunday, my best so far this year. I'll copy the times I got:

37:58 - top of the Incline
53:10 - No Name
1:54:05 - Barr Camp
3:06:42 - A-frame
3:15:40 - Inestine B.
3:33:58 - 2 to go
3:56:24 - 1 to go
4:12:50 - 16 Golden Stairs
4:24:22 - summit

Here is Sharon and I at A-frame.

It's so green in the mountains this year. It's amazing! It's like lush green carpet above treeline. In many ways I think this may point to climate change.

Rain storms began to threaten as we got above treeline. I even put my long sleeve shirt on for a minute, but the 10 seconds of icy drizzle soon passed and I was too warm again.

Here is Sharon running near a mile to go. Take note of all the green patches. Seems like a lot for more than 13,000 feet elevation.

Rain clouds streaming in the east over the cirque.

I'm very pleased with our summit and our time.

I am beginning to contemplate my major goal for next year and it might have to be a fast Pikes Peak Ascent. It will require a lot of dedicated training though!
